Try ^(\~\*)+(.*\n)+ which collects up everything after a line starting with ~*
If you put this in a group, then RegExp Coach does crash with an illegal formatting character error (odd). TB regexp might not (i.e. ((\~\*)+(.*\n)+)%- breaks Regexp Coach (even without the trailing %-) If you want to be more specific you could try ((\~\*)+\sConserve Archive(.*\n)+)%- Graham -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert D.

I tried playing with "The Regex Coach" I had D/L'd a few years ago but it crashes. Here's the line I tried first: ((\s*)?\n?Conserve Archive?.*?\n?\s*)?%- but it leaves the first occurance of ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Here are the first three lines of the tag they add: <begin quote> ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conserve Archive space, Don't OVERQUOTE *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ DISCLAIMER! Please note: All statements are opinions only. Link to Archives and list options: <end quote> When I try to add ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Conserve Archive space I get errors. So I assume that either ~or * must be a metacharacter and I have to escape it somehow. Right? -- Thanks for the help ... Robert D. _________________________ The Bat!
